  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Salvation Army and clothes..

What do you think about the Salvation Army use of uniforms? What about other Christian sects that have a dress code?
Does clothing matter?

I don't care if the Salvation Army wears uniforms or not. I see them as a group that is doing the charitable work Christ commanded even if I don't agree with their doctrines. The Orthodox Churches are a different matter. Priests, Bishops, etc., wear priestly vestments patterned for the most part after the garb of Roman civil officials such as governors, emperors, and so forth. It places them on par with the civil authorities and are symbolic of Christ's conquering of the nations. See Rev 2:27, "...he shall rule them with a rod of iron".
